| Art Appreciation Activities for Kids |
| SmART Kids |
Age Range: 7-12 (with parental guidance) This website was created by the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago and provides both structured and open-ended art activities to help kids "look at, think about, and respond creatively to art."
|
When you get to the site you'll watch a brief introduction and then see four animated children. Place your cursor over them to find out what activities they will guide you to that include:
*Look & Share - Learn about photographs, explore sculpture and pottery, see an oil painting demo, and more.
*Art Detective - In this game you read clues to figure out the correct titles of various artworks.
*Artist Studio - Virtually visit an artist's studio - meet the artist, look at their artwork, and watch the artist at work.
*Art Speak - This glossary explains art terminology that is used throughout the SmART Kids presentation.
You can also click on "Artwork of the Month" to learn about a particular piece of art and access the archives of other featured works too.
Enjoy!
